It's the art of working on older technology. My educated guess would be the torque value you are looking for would be measured in inch-pounds. But since no one has that number, best to do it by the book, which is torque the inner nut (to 100 ft-lbs if you like), then back off the nut 1/6 turn and leave it there. Then secure the lock nut. Otherwise you are going to trash your bearings, and possibly your spindles and hubs.
